Command line tools to compress and encrypt your keys

Project description

Keystore - keeps your keys in one place.
========================================

THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT [DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION]
------------------------------------------------
Encrypt your keys before syncing them to a local backup, or "the cloud".

Download it later and decrypt it yourself.

$ keystore-save
$ mkdir keys
$ keystore-load --copy-to keys

Prerequisites
-------------
Python 3.4+.

Install
-------
You can install straight from `pip`.

pip install keystore

Before using it for the first time, you will need to setup a `~/.keystorerc` in
your home directory.

{
"keystore": "~/Dropbox/keystore",
"files": [
"~/.ssh",
"~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf",
"~/.gnupg/gpg.conf",
"~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d",
"~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg",
"~/.gnupg/secring.gpg",
"~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg",
],
"verbose": true
}

Example usage
-------------

**Saving keys:**

$ keystore-save

Inspecting ~/.ssh:
Adding /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa ...
Adding /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ...
Adding /Users/spaxe/.ssh/known_hosts ...
Added 3 key(s) to keystore.

This passphrase is used to decrypt your keystore. Please remember it.
Please enter a passphrase:
Please verify your passphrase:
Passphrase accepted. Encrypting ...
Keyring successfully created:
AwGd2MtDWRkOFdyJoRZTdFApvKnoBQ2PXsqqE
[...]

**Loading keys:**

$ keystore-load

Located encrypted keystore at ~/Dropbox/keystore:
Please enter the passphrase:
Keyring decrypted successfully.
File /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite? (y)/n:
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa ...
File /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite? (y)/n:
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ...
File /Users/spaxe/.ssh/known_hosts exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite? (y)/n:
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/.ssh/known_hosts ...
Keyring loaded. Restored 3 keys.

**Loading keys to the same directory (useful for a new machine):**

$ mkdir keys
$ keystore-load --copy-to keys

Located encrypted keystore at ~/Dropbox/keystore:
Please enter the passphrase:
Keyring decrypted successfully.
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/keys/id_rsa ...
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/keys/id_rsa.pub ...
Writing key to /Users/spaxe/keys/known_hosts ...
Keyring loaded. Restored 3 keys.

**Running tests:**

python3 test.py
